Re: Recommended rollers/sliders

Is there a consensus on what gram slider or roller you would use on a Forza, to see increased performance? ......I'm thinking maybe 16? What weight # comes stock on a Forza? Stock is 21 gram roller in Forza 300. 17, 18, or 19 gram sliders depending on what you're looking for. Bred recommends 3x20g ...

Re: Cranks but doesn't start

I agree, it's working but THEY didn't fix it. The bike should NOT crank with the kill switch in the "not run" position. Yours was cranking and not starting and they fixed it by cleaning the kill switch? Don't make sense. :? With the key in the "on" position flipping the kill swit...

Re: Checking the Coolant Level

Sounds like yours might be empty. I have no problem reading the level through the little window. Give the bike a little rock side to side on the centre stand to make the level stand out more.

There's an old saying "Dance like nobody is watching" You ride like nobody is watching. Is the road up the west side of Harrison Lake to Tipella scooter-able?

Re: Forza 300 2018 change Km/L to L/100km

Wow! 21.2 km/l. That's 4.7 l/100km. My 2015 is a consistent 3.5 l/100km. Why is yours using so much fuel?

I don't think you need to remove any plastics to take the rear wheel off? :?

Re: just bought forza 300

300kms leaves about 1 litre left in the tank when the display says 3.5L/100km

Conversion: 185 miles leaves about 1 litre left when the display says 80.7 mpg (miles per UK gallon)

Re: 90,000 kilometers

So about 45,000km on the final drive oil before changing. Impressive. What psi are you running on your front City Grip? I ran at Honda's recommended 25psi and between 75 and 85kph it sounded like the bearing was going bad but when I hit 90kph it would go away. Now I'm at 29psi and I don't hear the h...

Re: 90,000 kilometers

Wow 90,000. Is that in 3 years? Honda recommends changing the final drive oil every 2 years. Have you only done that 1 time in 90k? What oil did you use?

Re: Rear suspension question from new owner

That's the fun of the Forza, you have to dodge the road imperfections. :lol: If you can't dodge them you should have your feet under you so you can lift your bum off the seat and use the bend in your knees as shock absorbers.

That is good advice. Manual says it should be done at 16,000 miles but if running good why bother.

Bred is in the know. 23x18- 21 gram is OEM. Are you going to check the valves now at 16,500 miles?

Re: New Forza 300 - 1st Impressions

It would be nice if the seat to floorboard distance was greater. My 2015 measures about 17 inches. Is the new model higher?

Seat height of 2015- 28.2 inches.
Seat height of 2018- 30.7 inches.
